Verdict from Klaus Schroiff ,” Tamron SP 85mm f/1.8 Di VC USD delivered a convincing performance with just a few hiccups. The center quality is very high at max aperture and even the extreme corners are still good. Stopped down to medium apertures it is extremely sharp across the image field. Distortions are basically absent…The Tamron SP 85mm f/1.8 Di VC USD is fairly expensive for this speed class – it costs twice as much as the admittedly ancient Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM. That’s quite a frog that you have to swallow here albeit the image stabilizer is surely worth a couple of extra dollars. That being said it’s worth mentioning that it is lighter, smaller and cheaper than most of its f/1.4 counterparts and not everybody requires a f/1.4 lens. Highly recommended! …”
